API RESTFul to retrieve citations from SciELO articles to a given DOI, Article Title or SciELO ID, this is RESTFul and returns results in JSON.
Usage documentation are available on-line: SciELO CitedBy RESTFul API
The API will only work for:
- SciELO ID called PID (Publisher Identifier)
- DOI (Digital Object Identifier) -
http://www.doi.org/ - And some article meta data: title, first_author and publisher_year
Example:
http://citedby.scielo.org/api/v1/pid/?q=S0124-41082008000200002
Will return the following result:
{
